SONOMA -- NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Darrell Waltrip has been named Grand Marshal of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on June 23.

Waltrip, the lead analyst for NASCAR on FOX, is a three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion with 84 Cup Series victories. He won the 1989 Daytona 500 and is the only five-time winner of the Coca-Cola 600 (1978, '79, '85, '88 and '89) at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

June's race will mark the 25th time the NASCAR Cup event has been run in Sonoma.

Waltrip will be honored June 21 of race weekend at the Children's Champions Grand Marshal's Banquet at Cline Cellars in Sonoma. The gala is a fundraiser for the Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities. He will also take part in pre-race activities on June 23 and participate in the official command of, "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines."

"I am honored to have my name associated with Sonoma Raceway," Waltrip said in a news release. "I've always loved road racing both as an active driver and as a broadcaster. Sonoma is such an historic race track that when we got to go there with stock cars 25 years ago, it was magical. It's a great race track in the beautiful Northern California wine country."
